Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey

BATB score: 9/10 💚

Best for: almost a 10/10! It’s just that he wrote this book truly for himself to remember the past and to grateful for the future. “Can we live in a way where we look forward to looking back?” Nothing wrong with that. It’s just like I am that sneaky nosey neighbor reading this personal book of his.

Best to: a very fun and casual read about the life of Matthew McConaughey

Best as: for sure, Matthew McConaughey is extremely talented in acting and writing 💯

Best quotes: “We all have scars, we gonna have more. Rather than struggle against time and waste it, let’s dance with time and redeem it. Cause we don’t live longer when we try not to die. We live longer when we are too busy living.”

“Great leaders are not always in front, they also know who to follow.”

“It is not about win or lose, it is about do you accept the challenge.”

“Make my life my favorite movie. Live my favorite character. Write my own script. Direct my own story. Be my biography. Make my own documentary on me. Non-fiction, live, not recorded. Time to catch that hero I've been chasing. See if the sun will melt the wax that holds my wings or if the heat is just a mirage. Live my legacy now. Quit acting like me. Be me.”

“The sooner we become less impressed with our life, our accomplishments, our career, our relationships, the prospects in front of us—the sooner we become less impressed and more involved with these things—the sooner we get better at them. We must be more than just happy to be here.”
